12 Strawberry Drinks and Desserts That Define “Pretty in Pink”

Strawberries should be applauded not only for their sweet and tart flavor, but also for their ability to make just about anything look spectacular with their dark pink hue. Because no proper meal is complete without drinks and dessert, here are a dozen ways to introduce strawberries into cocktails and sweets for an evening that begins and ends on the highest of notes.

Strawberry Tart: This glossy tart looks like it's from a French pâtisserie. Luckily, making it is almost as easy as buying one. Strawberries are packed into store-bought pastry crust and custard, then brushed with jelly for maximum sweetness and shine.

Chia Berry Jam: Chia seeds give this jam a kick of protein. It's sweetened only with fruit and honey, so you can spread your morning toast with something a little healthier than Smucker's.

Strawberry Rhubarb Bellinis: Plain ol' Prosecco is made extra smooth with a purée of strawberries, rhubarb, and sugar. The drink's garnish takes inspiration from the celery stick in a Bloody Mary, and boy, is it good lookin'.
